Codelearn Special Weeks: Mobile Communication
One month after having celebrated the special week of supercomputing, today begins the second theme week of the year. These days our centers will work on a new specific theme and on this occasion students will be able to learn more about mobile communication and its evolution from its origins to the present.
Female STEM role models: a walk through history
It is International Day of Women and Girls in Science. We are still far from a full and equal access and participation for women and girls in STEM fields and it is a problem that begins long before they enter the professional world and can be noticed when they have to choose studies in high school and college. The lack of female STEM role models for inspiring young girls continues to exist, although in recent years stories of many women who played a key role in STEM are starting to be more visible. Today we will talk about some of them and how they changed the world.
Safer Internet Day 2022
The second Tuesday of February is Safer Internet Day (SID), an event celebrated worldwide and created to claim the importance of a safe Internet for everyone, especially for the youngest, and the need to use it responsibly. Under the slogan “Together for a better Internet”, this day is calling the entire population to raise awareness in everyone (especially children and adolescents) about important subjects such as digital privacy, respect in social media, the critical use of new technologies and the Internet, among others.
What is a Smart Contract?
A Smart Contract is an agreement between parties which contains a set of instructions in the form of code and that is executed in the blockchain, so that it is stored in a public database and cannot be modified. Transactions in a smart contract are processed by the blockchain, which means that they can be sent automatically without any intermediary. Transactions only occur when the conditions of the prearranged agreement are met: there is no third party, so there are no trust issues.
Codelearn special weeks: Supercomputing
This week we are celebrating the first theme week of this school year, which will be dedicated to supercomputing. Supercomputers are computers which have much higher computing and processing capabilities than ordinary computers like the ones we have at home. They are used to perform many computational tasks in various fields, such as meteorological forecasting, computational chemistry, quantum mechanics, physical simulations, among others.
